Patient's question:
I've been married for several years, and so far, we don't have any children. I'm very anxious about it and don't know if it's my problem. I've asked my husband to get checked, but he refuses. I'm afraid my condition might worsen. Please tell me if long-term masturbation can cause infertility.Doctor's answer:
Excessive masturbation is a psychological disorder and can severely affect physical health, causing some urogenital diseases and sexual neuroexhaustion. The main manifestations are: (1) central nervous system and systemic symptoms such as depression, reduced memory, poor concentration, decreased comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, palpitations, etc. (2) urogenital diseases such as chronic prostatitis, which causes frequent urination, white discharge at the end of urination, discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, lower back pain and weakness, reduced libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and anejaculation, etc.
